Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said, “I tell you, across America in living rooms who have been watching Donald Trump talking about this, someone just turned to a cousin, an aunt, a brother or a husband and said ‘you know what we should do is just bomb the hell out of them’… and then Trump comes on the air and he says exactly what the cousin, the brother, the uncle said 20 minutes ago. That’s the connection. It’s real, it’s authentic. It is what people are thinking.”
